Attendance on Sunday 17th   Message List

RE: [the_kirklees_crusaders] Re: Attendance on Sunday 17th

 

Hi Ian

 

After closer inspection of the 2 commands there are some slight differences to what was listed on Ebay. In addition to this 2 elements of archers have 4 figures but the other 6 elements have only 2 figures each. Still a fair buy for £40 but I may need some advice on rebasing the archer elements to 4 to a base.

 

I think part of the problem yesterday was being irregular and on defence. Our opponents got all the pips and we had to react to their moves with insufficient pips.

 

It’s a shame the next open day is a way off. I will pencil it in as well as the tourney.

 

Am I still ok to join you all in travelling to Triples on March 15th?

 

Do you know the best place to get one of your DBMM books so I can try and build my knowledge up? I suppose there would be copies at Triples.

 

Chat soon.

 

Rob

Robert.

It was good to have you along too.
You seemed to pick up the basics easily enough.
Glad you're not too annoyed about my dice-rolling skills.! Guy
reminded me that I did a similar thing for him when he first payed =)

Sounds like you could be practicing DBA with a few Roman Cvil War
battles. You can always use empty bases for any elements you're shrt
of for the time being.

The next open day for gamers will be the last week in April. However,
if you want to come along on the 30th March to watch the tourney,
feel free.

Cheers
Ian
